Sở GD&ĐT Quảng Nam Trường THPT Trần Cao Vân Tam kỳ ĐỀ THAM KHẢO Môn : Tiếng Anh- Lớp 12 THPT Read the passage and choose the correct answer: Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communication without using speech. Signals,signs,symbols and gestures may be found in every known culture. The basic function of a signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that attracts attention,as, for example, the dots and the dashes of the telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words , signs also contain meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole convey meaning quickly and conveniently. Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver's cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theatre provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain culture message Although signals, signs,symbols and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver.
